Wolfscall 204 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 “Bopete” Keyes, cornerback Tulane • 6’1” • 202 pounds Whew baby! I was excited to see the Chiefs get back into the draft to select a player I would have been THRILLED to see them take at No. 177 in the fifth round. Keyes — who prefers to be called “Bopete” — is a fantastic developmental cornerback prospect that has a legitimate chance of making the 53-man roster. We put a fourth-round grade on Keyes in the KC Draft Guide. He has excellent length and a strong athletic profile. He uses his length well, as he’s competitive at the catch point. He has quality feet and good fluidity through his frame for a man his size. He’s physical at the line of scrimmage and uses the boundary to his advantage. Keyes is still a raw prospect but there is a lot to like about his athletic profile, ball production and frame. He doesn’t have to play right away, but don’t be surprised if Keyes sticks around in Steve Spagnuolo’s defense for a while. https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2020/4/25/21236807/trade-alert-chiefs-select-tulane-cornerback-thakarius-bopete-keyes-at-no-237 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetlord 10,209 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Should have taken him at #177 and waited for UDFAs. Guess they'll figure to get that sixth back with a comp pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iluvhouse24 1,808 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I think this will be our biggest steal. Not saying he will be the best player we drafted. But as far as impact relative to investment. He has the tools to be a good NFL corner. sith13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sith13 1,746 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I think so as well. Looks like a guy they have been targeting for the 3rd day all along and has a lot of good reports that make him look like a 2nd day pick that simply fell. I think he ends up starting within a couple years hence the steal of this draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
